Microsoft Courier Patent Brings Back the Dead

Microsoft Courier is one of those great “could have been” products and we’re reminded yet again about its potential by a patent that’s been recently uncovered.

Its patent is months old, dating from January 19th 2010 and it recently broke lose, as it was accepted. The documents show the official design of the Courier, that still belongs to Microsoft and can still be turned into a dual screen tablet, if needed. We wouldn’t bet on it happening, though…
